Too much power, launch a little lower or get some slicks and launch a lot higher...

If not, Learn how to feather it out of the hole because you are probably just dumping it at 2700. You will be able to launch much higher (even on street tires) if you learn how to get the car out of the hole and moving. Also, Is your car lowered w/o a camber kit?

Feathering is overrated IMO, just losses time. Get better tires or launch just before you bog. Also try loading your clutch useing your e-brake.
